We were there - one on 97 Sullivan - a week ago and their steak tartar was not very good nor fresh; it came out thinly spread on a plate w/ potato chips and some capers. One of more recent favorite of ours was at Gentleman Farmer where their bison tartar is served with bearnaise mousse, capers, and quail egg.

Yes, Blue Ribbon is still good. I love BR (Brasserie, that is) especially after midnight on a weekday - however I don't think I've had their steak tartare recently as I'm usually too enamored with their bone marrow, oysters, etc.
